 In spits of their best efforts to check the small po1 in Los Angeles, it's slow ly spreading. The unreasonable fear of the pest house inspires the most foolish snd really criminal attempts by afflicted families to secret the presence of the losthsome malady from the knowleige of the authorities and the public. and in this way 8 whole neighO.hood may be infected The sufferers themselves should cooperate with the health officers st such tune and overcome their dread If the horrors of the hospital by the sense of duty they owe to others. In Los Angeles the suthsrities are fully awake to the danger that menaoes their angelic city. and they spare no efforts or expense to stamp out the disease. They feel that they now have control of the situation, and it hoPed that they may check its further rsvsges.

Ex-GovERNoR PIERCE in Sundays Pio-
neer Press sounds the cheerful spring
slogan, as follows:
The wave of prosperity is travelling
westward. Already it has reached the
eastern borders of Dakota. In a few
weeks, or months at the farthest, it will
awaken and electrify the whole territory.
The best advice to every homesteader,
every squatter, every claimholder, every
owner Of property is contained in the
one word, Stick!
Incidental to this, The ALERT is receiv-
ing numerous letters from people in
Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and
other states, desiring sample copies of the
paper and stating that the writer's are
contemplating coming to this country in
the spring 1t would not surprise the
better posted, as Mr.. Groat, of the North
ern Pacific, said the other day, to see, ii
not another boom, a steady stream OF
emigration start into Dakota this year.
If the people here would abandon poll
tics awhile, cease the pursuit of imprac-
tical reforms and unite in offering in
ducements and attractions to the large
class of discontented people in the east
ern states,sthe real and inevitable pros
perity of these broad prairies would begin
a great deal sooner. Dakota citizens can
afford to drop a good many local squab-
bles and devise instead, means to popu-
late her vacant stretches of fertile lands.

The Dakota Maiden.

The Dakota girl is constantly getting
to the front. Out here in the breezy
northwest there are plenty of girls living
life of in dependence, making money
and acquiring valuable quartersections of
land, that will, in the near future be
tempting dowries for many young man.
Such an unusual conditi on of affairs
naturally excites favorable comment for
the young ladies every where in the east.
Heretofore the peculiar claims of the
Dakota girl have been in her real estate
transactions, and hard, practical, indie
pendent life. But it seems her abilities
are not to be so narrowly confined, and
instances are getting frequent. of her
growing celebrity in other branches, open
to the world of women-music, drama,
art and literature. One of the latest of
these new character sphases is depicted
in the following, related to The ALERT
by gentleman in New York City, who
says if he were writing it for the news
paper he would head it
FooLING A BISHOP.
"One of our western b ishops now visit
ing his friends at the east was dining
with a friend few days ago. The first
course in the dinner was blue points.
The bishop after eating one of the oysters
tried to pull up the shell from the plate.
He looked up with a smile and sur
prised look and said: II thought l was

it is only painted
This was true. The oyster plates We're
beautifully designed and executed from
life and were so admirably done that the
bishop was completely fooled.
The artist who was the innocent cause
of this jokeis Miss Minnie Hammond now
resident at Peak Beyant, this county,
and we'll known to the citizens of James
town. She is sister of Mrs. John
Waugh, and an artist of rare attain
mentS.

IT seems that Col. Lounsberry has
retired from the Duluth News and will
start new weekly early in April. The
following concerning the change is from
the Duluth News:
Col, Lounsberry will leave on Wednes-
day for Bismarck for the purpose OF
moving his family to Duluth and on his
return will put into his new newspaper
enterprise, the Saturday Evening Jour,
nal, all of the time and energy it will
need to make the paper success. 1t
is now three months since he was in
jured and not until yesterday was he
able to bear any weight upon his limb.
After few days he will be able to move
around very comfortably but still only by
the aid of crutches. It will be noticed
that Mr.. Lounsberry retires from the
News. This is because he does not wish
to be confined as closely as the daily
work would require.

Col. Steele's Bank.

The following information was OBJ
tanned from gentleman at the train last
night, who is we'll posted Oh the s1tua-
ton and the malicious attempt to injure
and defraud Col. W. F. Steele, while alb
sent from home: According to the
county record the colonel has made no
transfers of real estate for nearly a year,
nor of any considerable amount of mo-
ney with the exception that in his bank
ing business he made some necessary dis
counts at the German American bank of
st. Paul. These discounts were made for
the purpose of settling with depositors at
Steele and to pay personal obligations.
Colonel Steele's books show that he has
lately sent $4,000 in cash to pay deposi-
tors, and that all of them have been paid
in full except Mr.. Fridley, tho county
treasurer: With Fridley, Mr.. Steele had
other business relations which seemed to
justify him in the course he had taken.
He holds note against Mr.. Fridley for
$40O, which has been reduced by pay
ments to $3.50, and interest. Besides this
he holds joint notes, upon which he is
liable, which makes bis claim against
Fridley in the neighborhood of $500.
Cunningham claims to have $4,000 in col
lections against Steele, but his whole
course is said to be malicious out
cropping of personal feeling against Mr..
Steele, caused by the fancy that Mr..
Steele was in some way responsible for
the unfavorable light in which his SER
vices as teacher in the public schools
were regarded. Since that time he has
lost no opportunity to attempt to damage
Mr.. Steele's personal and financial repu-
tation.
Cunningham collections, it is under
stood, are claim of Curtin Il Lawrence
for $$45O; $1,70O for Dunn & Thomson
of Duluth; and some others which are
not known. Mr.. Steele's books show a
discrepancy in the former account, the
failure to adjust which has caused the
non-payment; and security for the pay
ment of the other account has been
given.
The gentleman further stated that
County Treasurer Fridley's account was
paid in full yesterday to avoid further
litigation. In talking with citizens he
had found no one whom Mr.. Steele owed
or whose faith in Steele was shaken. Mr.
Steele has always paid every dollar he
honestly owed, and in this case has paid
every depositor in full-even some who
were in debt to him and on whom he will
have to wait for payment until after har-
vest.

The FAIR.

The house bill No. $50, which the gov
ernor signed and is now law, provides
for two boards of agriculture, one for
south and one for north of the 46th par
allel, and consisting of a representative
from each legislative district. The first
to be appointed by the governor then Sc
lected by delegates chosen by the differ
ent agricultural societies. Where there
are no societies each county will have
three delegates: the whole number of
counties of each district to elect the
member of the board.
1t is understood that jamestown is to
have the first fair as her representative |.
c. Wade, worked the bill through and
stayed by it until it became law. In
asmuch as Huron gave $4,000 and Grand
Forks offered $1,000 and did not get it
as a territorial fair, jamestown is fortu-
nate in getting the fair and an approprl-
alton of nearly $4,000. e. half OF the
general appropriation which was S6,ooo.
besides small salaries for secretary and
treasurer, which it is expected James
town will furnish.
As the board for the north meet at Far
go, March Gath, it stands the people
of jamestown in hand to see how much
they will give toward guaranteeing suit:
able buildings. The local society will
provide the grounds and it is expected
the citizens will furnish what is necessary
for the success of the fair. This must
be done and handed to the board before
the 29th. A call will be made soon for
that purpose.

Breeding Pure Breeds.

At recent public meeting in Massa.
chusetts, 0. B. Hadwen, Of Worcester,
an extensive breeder Of Jersey cattle,
made the remark that ''the time may
have gone by for breeding pure breeds,
and has come when cows will be sold on
their merits.'' Mr. Hadwen admitted
that he had been sadly disappointed in
the stock he had bought, basing his expec
tations on the purity Of the blood. He
has introduced Guernsey blood into his
herd, and with such promise of good re-
suits that he is beginning to favor stock
having mingling of blood in its veins.
He finds that the English breeders, with q
much larger experience than we have had
in this country, have for long while ad-
vocated an occasional cross to improve
their stock

For number of years the people OF
South Dakota have claimed that the
people of the north were the serfs OF the
Northern Pacific road. They have re-
peatedly said that elections were at the
mercy of this company and point to the
Legislative, county and even the smaller
town elections along the line. However
this may be, the people Of South Dakota
never had railroad to come to the front
and help out its farmers in times OF need
like the old pioneer line has this year.
A newspaper in South Dakota thus
speaks of the matter:
ever since we have lived in Dakota
there has been howl by South Dakota
politicians over the Northern Pacific
railroad company being crushing mono
poly, etc. Today, when the citizens who
have settled along its route are IN want,
that company steps promptly forward
and offers them $780, 600 worth OF seed
wheat, and all they ask in return is bushel
for bushel il they secure crop.
What has the c., NJ. 4 st. Paul road or
the C. IN. W. road offered? Echo an
swers sswhat?" If the Northern Pacific
railroad is grinding monopoly, it never
inveiqled the people into settlement OF
It territory and then abandoned them,

The poets of Asia have sung for centr
uries Of the beauty and fruitfulness o. to
Zarafchan valley. The fact that the en-
virons Of Samarcand, BOkhara, and Kh1y1
are among the most fertile In the wof1d
has counted for little in their development
for almost painless deserts separate thelm
from the lands that would gladly buy
their produce. Steam cars, however
have come at last to supersede the cooay
camel caravans that, since the car over-
powered the Khanates, have often bean
sent to the Russian frontier.
When it was announced Q few WeekD
ago that the Trans Caspian railroad hAd
reached the Anu Daria at Chardjpi, the
telegraph from Khiva and Bokhara -
once reported that number of CARAVANS
were loading with silks, leather, furs, car
pets and wool, which they would take 70
Chardjui en- route for Europe. Mr.. LAns-
dell told us two years ago that central
Asiar cotton was of fine quality and could
be raised in enormous quantities. 1t now
appears that as soon as 1t was positively
known that the railroad would be nd
vanced to the Amu-Daria the planting Of
cotton in Bokhara was very sensibly aug
mented. Thus the pulse beats OF western
commerce are beginning to be felt IN tho
remoter regions of the Mohamme6an
world, revivifying countries long dormant
that in the age of Alexander the Great
were the seat of an advanced and power
full civilization.
The ruins still exist of those great canals
that centuries ago led the waters Of tho
Murghab throughout the Merv oasis, fer-
tilizing the soil and fitting it to be the
abiding place of a large and fourishing
population Since the railroad reached
Merv the Turcomans there have begun the
work of cleaning out and restoring these
old works of irrigation, and the day is rap
idly coming when ancient Merv will loso
the sad and arid aspect that now predom-
mates in all its borders. The railroad
that Gen. Annenkoff pushed forward
through pillows of sand and q treeless des-
ert will be the means of restoring to Merv
the verdure and fertility she once pos-
sessed.
The history of this railroad enterprise
which is kindling the spirit Of the western
world amid the ruins of dead civiliza-
ton of the far east, is destined to maks
one of the most interesting and romantic
chapters in the story Of modern progress.

The honor of having the largest farm
in the world the Dalrymples'-has been
plucked from Dakota. A syndicate of
northern capitalists are engaged in
Louisiana, in farming 100000 acres,
with stations every six miles. A few
years have shown the general impractica-
bility of successful cultivation of immense
tracts of land, by few persons and a
great deal of costly machinery. 1t is just
as we'll for Dakota that the big farms
disappear. What she wants now is not
the largest farm in the world but the
smallest, with as many men, women,
children, COWS, pigs and chickens as pos
sible to the acre.
